It is time to take action!

Methane Matters Now. Methane is a prevalent
manmade greenhouse gas that traps 28 times more
heat than carbon dioxide (CO2). Reducing methane
emissions by recovering and using methane as a
clean energy source offers many benefits for the
environment and local communities.
We want to showcase your actions. The Global
Methane Challenge is open to all public and
private-sector actors interested in reducing methane
emissions. We will promote your efforts throughout
2019 and showcase the achievements of all Challenge
participants at a capstone event in 2020.

in one or more sectors.
Provide technical or financial support to a
methane mitigation project.
Educate the public about methane emissions
and abatement opportunities.
Showcase a methane mitigation project
